Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this study was to estimate the proportion of subjects who fulfilled the criteria for symptomatic remission (defined as a score of mild or less [ie, less than or equal to (=<) 3] on all selected PANSS items (P1, P2, P3, N1, N4, N6, G5, and G9) maintained for at least 6 months) following a transition to 12 months’ treatment with flexible-dose paliperidone palmitate 3-month formulation (PP3M) in subjects with schizophrenia previously adequately treated with PP1M for at least 4 months.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with good clinical practices and applicable regulatory requirements. The safety assessments included adverse events (AEs), Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale (ESRS), Urine pregnancy test, body weight, and height; body mass index (BMI), vital sign measurements including blood pressure and heart rate measurements and physical examinations.

    PANSS: 30-item scale to assess neuropsychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often delusions and hallucinations,withdrawal into the self). PANSS provides total score sum scores of 30 items, scores for 3 subscales, positive-7, negative-7, general psychopathology-16 items, each item scored on scale of 1-absent,2-minimal,3-mild,4-moderate,5-moderately severe, 6-severe,7-extreme: score ranges from 30 to 210; higher score indicates greater severity. SR: defined as having a score of mild or less (ie, <=3) on all selected PANSS items (P1, P2, P3, N1, N4, N6, G5, and G9) maintained for at least 6 months +/-14 days. mITT efficacy analysis set consists of all subjects from the mITT analysis set (subjects who provide their written consent and receive at least 1 dose of study drug (PP3M) during the treatment phase) who had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy assessment.

PANSS Marder factor scores range from 7 to 49 for the positive and negative symptoms factor scores, from 6 to 42 for the disorganized thought factor score, and from 4 to 28 for the uncontrolled hostility/excitement and anxiety/depression scores. Higher PANSS Marder factor scores higher the symptom severity.

    Change From Baseline in Personal and Social Performance (PSP) Scale at LOCF Endpoint
    End point description
    The PSP assesses degree of subject’s dysfunction within 4 domains of behavior, socially useful activities, personal and social relationships, self-care, and disturbing and aggressive behavior. The score ranges from 1 to 100, divided into 10 equal intervals to rate degree of difficulty (1=absent to 6=very severe) in each of 4 domains. Based on the 4 domains there will be one total score. Participants with a score of 71 to 100 have a mild degree of difficulty; from 31 to 70, varying degrees of disability; less than or equal to 30, functioning so poorly as to require intensive supervision. Efficacy analysis set: subjects from the mITT analysis set (all subjects who provide their written consent and receive at least 1 dose of study drug (PP3M) during the treatment phase) who had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy assessment. Here, N (number of subjects analyzed) signifies the number of subjects evaluable for this endpoint.

    End point description
    WHODAS 2.0 captures level of functioning in total score and 6 domains of life: 1:Cognition–understanding and communicating; 2:Mobility–moving and getting around; 3:Self-care–attending to one's hygiene, dressing, eating and staying alone; 4:Getting along–interacting with other people; 5:Life activities–domestic responsibilities, leisure, work and school; and 6:Participation–joining in community activities, participating in society. Each item of 36 items is rated on 5-point Likert scale: 0=No Difficulty;1=Mild Difficulty;2=Moderate Difficulty;3=Severe Difficulty;4=Extreme Difficulty or Cannot Do. From the results, scores for the 6 domains and an overall score are calculated, with scores ranging from 0 to 100 (higher scores indicate worse functioning). mITT analysis set: all subjects who provided their written consent and received at least 1 dose of study drug (PP3M) during the treatment phase. “N” (number of subjects analyzed) signifies number of subjects evaluable for this endpoint.

    Change From Baseline in Subjective Well-being Under Neuroleptics Scale (SWN-S) at LOCF Endpoint
    End point description
    SWN is an instrument to measure subtle subjective changes, such as restrictions in emotionality, clarity of thinking and spontaneity. A shortened version is used and consists of 20 items:10 positively,10 negatively phrased. Based on these 20 items total SWN score is calculated and 5 subscales are constructed, each consisting of 2 positive and 2 negative items: Mental functioning; Self-control; Emotional regulation; Physical functioning; and Social integration. Total score of SWN-S ranges from 20-120. 5 subscale scores range from 4-24. All items were coded in such a way that higher values express better well-being (Positive items Coding: 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20; Negative items Coding: 1, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17). mITT efficacy analysis set consists of all subjects from the mITT analysis set during the treatment phase who had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy assessment.

    End point description
    SQLS-R4 comprises 33 items incorporated in 2 domains: psychosocial feelings (20 items) and cognition and vitality (13 items). Individual domain and total scores are standardized using a scoring algorithm to a 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores indicating comparatively lower quality of life. 0 = no problem at all: 100 = maximum level of problem. The general formula for scoring each domain and the total score is: Score = (Sum of scores of each item in domain/4 (i.e. max score per question) * numbers of items in the domain)*100. mITT efficacy analysis set consists of all subjects from the mITT analysis set who had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy assessment and at least one post-baseline assessments. Here, N (number of subjects analyzed) signifies a number of subjects evaluable for this endpoint.
